>OTTO BERCHEM		THE DATING MARKET

>13 May until 10 June 2000

>Getting the audience involved in his projects is indispensable for Otto
>Berchem (1967, USA). Each of his works is a collaboration; with people,
>artists, friends, fashion houses, magazines or institutions. In doing so
>his projects reflect our position as individuals within society, and
>because of this exchange with the audience and the collaboration with
>the people behind the scenes, Berchem's work is an on-going social
>activity, in which the artist features as the director.
>
>In his latest project, presented by Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Otto
>Berchem takes an even closer look at inter-human relationships in
>contemporary society, in focusing on the 'dating' system. For many a
>hard working twenty- or thirty-something a visit to the local
>supermarket after work seems to equal "the latest spin on a singles
>bar", according to Berchem. This phenomenon could be considered the
>modern day version of dating shows like "Blind Date", the first
>predecessors of which appeared on American TV in the sixties.
>
>The core of the exhibition "The Dating Market" can be found on the
>Elandsgracht in Amsterdam, at Lindeman supermarket. Berchem will adorn a
>series of shopping baskets provided by Lindeman with a flower motif,
>derived from the stage set of "the Dating Game", one of the original
>American dating programs, broadcast in the sixties. When entering the
>supermarket, the customer can opt for a flowered basket, and label him-
>or herself - as 'available'. Thus the supermarket becomes a dating
>market, a qualified ad in 3D. Lindeman will also be  promoting a series
>of weekly special discounts for 'singles'.
>
>Concurrently with the opening of the exhibition, the first publication
>on Otto Berchem's work, entitled "It's not my fault", published by
>Artimo, with texts by Lisette Smits, Charles Esche, and others, will
>appear. The book will be launched on 13 May, at Ellen de Bruijne
>Projects.
